Its capabilities relied on a highly concentrated magnetic core. Upon impacting an enemy ship, an electromagnetic pulse drained most of its weapon subsystems' power, leaving it operating at only 25% efficiency for an extended period of time. While similar to an ion cannon in this regard, the mag pulse warhead's advantage was that it could bypass full-strength shields to incapacitate targets. However unlike ions, a mag pulse warhead left a craft's propulsion intact
